The nation-wide bandh called by Opposition against petrol price hike had its echo in Delhi Assembly today as BJP MLAs created ruckus saying the House cannot function on such a day, prompting Speaker to order their removal and their suspension for three days. As soon as the House assembled, BJP MLA raised the issue price hike in patrol and proposed five per cent VAT on CNG in Delhi Budget.

They demanded immediate withdrawal of it from the budget proposal. Shouting slogans, the legislators trooped into the Well of the House and Speaker Yoganand Shastri had to adjourn the House for 20 minutes as the din continued.

When the House reassembled, the sloganeering continued forcing the Speaker to adjourn it for second time for another 20 minutes after his repeated plea for restoring order did not yield any positive result. BJP MLAs again created ruckus and trooped into the well when the House reassembled following which Education Minister
Arvinder Singh Lovely moved a proposal to remove them from the House for not allowing it to function. The proposal was put to voice vote and the BJP MLAs were removed from the three sittings of the house.
